Six Acts of Faith Quick Picks
Friday night was my first time attending the Acts of Faith Festival Preview event at Theatre IV. The Acts of Faith Festival is a citywide event sponsored by Second Presbyterian Church – each theater company has an offering with an element of faith or spirituality.
This preview was a great way to figure out which shows you want to see and experience a little of everything that is happening in the Richmond theatre community. You can easily find yourself wanting to go to every show presented. Here are a few stand outs.
August: Osage County
Cadence Theatre Co/ Barksdale’s Theatre Gym
Feb. 17 – Mar. 10
It’s an awkward look into the lives of an unhappily married couple. You wonder why these two people who obviously hate each other are still together.
You Don’t Know Me: A Trio of One Acts
Firehouse Theatre Project/VUU
Feb. 16 – Mar. 10
It’s no surprise a Firehouse play makes this list. I have never been disappointed by any of their shows whether it be a full production or staged reading. I’ve had tickets to this show for awhile but had no clue as to the plot.
God of Carnage
Barksdale Theatre
Feb. 17 – Mar. 10
Two sets of parents ridiculously try to figure out who is to blame for their two boys getting into a fight.
Next Fall
Richmond Triangle Players
Feb. 22 – Mar. 17
RTP’s next production after 2 Boys in a Bed completes it run. In a scene between an accident victim’s mother and his partner, never has there been so much emotion in silence.
Jewtopia
Hattheatre
Mar. 9 – Mar. 18
This one had the entire audience laughing to this barely rehearsed reading about Jewish stereotypes.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch Review for Jewtopia: “the audience on Sunday seemed to be having a great time.”, “Scallion has a good sound design and serviceable lighting, and pleasant costuming is provided by Patricia Alli.”, “The lovely, hard-working group of actors Scallion assembles is clearly committed to making these people as real as possible. Chris Hester and Lucas Hall, as Adam and Chris, are both antic and sweet, and extra doses of chuckle-worthy yiddishkeit come from Michael Dunn, as a beleaguered rabbi, and Sarah Robins, who plays all the misbegotten dates. Nicole Fratkin is especially funny as Adam’s furious younger sister. The cast earns kudos for taking their characters seriously and infusing them with heart”
